Rman Backup Session decrease problem

Hi,

  We are backing up Oracle Db ( 10 g) with nmo 5.0 (from HPux), We are using 20 sessions for backing up. Backup is starting from 20 channell as expected but after first pieces finished, there were below error appears and backup is continuing with less (disabling channel count changes between 3-7) channels. Backup is finishing successfuly but it is increasing our backup duration. Is there any idea ?

Thanks.

    If you run this on a reduced amount of channels, does it fail like this also or does it run without error?  I know this isn't what you want to do, but it would be interesting to test to see what number of channels it can't handle to see if this error is load-related or not.

    Hello

    My name is David Pravia, I am Networker and Oracle expert.

    The error you mentioned in your post is a well known issue. I would like to ask u what version of Networker client is running in the Oracle server. I would suggest you to upgrade the client to at least 7.5.3 or 7.6.1

    Direct save not enable is a well known error produced by a misleading between NMO and NW client

    Please let me know how it goes

    Many thanks

    David S Pravia

    Hi David,

      Networker  version is 7.4.4 and we are planning to upgrade that storage node to 7.4.5. We can' t upgrade it to 7.5.3 or 7.6 now, because nw server version is 7.4.5.

      By the way ıf it was  a known issue, could you sent me article number ?

    Thanks.

    Mr Can,

    Try first to disable the strong auth before downgrading and let me know

    Thanks

    Strong auth may solve the problem, and I am planning to downgrade nmo version to 4.5

    Hello Mr Can

    This is one of the statemnst that suggest NMO would better run on 7.5 or later, I found it in the NMO 5.0 Technical releases:

    NMO release 5.0 provides new support for deduplication backups and restores, which requires NetWorker server and client release 7.5 or later.

    Also I would suggest you to remove the strong auth too

    Thanks

    Hi,

    we are also getting the same error with networker server 7.6.1.7 and client version 7.6.1. we are using nmda 1.1 with oracle 11gR2 on the RHEL 5.6 server.

    the same error also occurred with SAP backups. we are using nmsap 4.1 with nw client 7.6.1.

    The interesting point is that we are not getting this error a few weeks ago. There is inconsistent situation i think. what can be the problem. Any ideas?

    thank you.
